Just a little progress from stage one.....
Here is what I have been able to do (thus far). I am very happy with the results (thus far). I can't wait to get the paint and turbo kit (now it would'nt make sense to say "thus far" here), the exhaust is going on as soon as all the parts arrive (single 3" all the way back). I tried those "Pops-A-Dent" kits and they suck A$$! Here is what I started with:
Nice dents
And the motor (neglected and bone stock, Unfortunately I don't have a before pic of how nasty it looked. If you have seen "Fast and the Furious" (hate to make a reference to that movie) think of the supra that he trailers to the garage when they lift the hood, twigs and dirt piled up in wierd places!! )
and now for an intermission.............. for intertainment here's a funny pic:
..................................................................., is that not funny enough, okay fine! how about this!

Okay, back on topic...........
Here are the results (THUS FAR!!!! )
That dent is'nt completely gone but it sure looks alot better.
Ahh, much improved view of the front
In the sun after a rediculous storm and a bath:
The storm was crazy, I feared for my toys, the trees where almost sidways (some where!). Everything ended up okay though, no "new" dents .
And this is why I did'nt go with coilovers..........
Hope you guys like the pics and have a great weekend!! I can relax for a bit until more parts come in....

Wow, tough crowd. I thought I would have at least a few comments coming from some of you seeing as this car went from "crap" to "snap", or "sad" to "bad" if you would.
Exhaust parts have started to arrive. Waiting on the 3" resonator from Vibrant. Then I will have a little growl to match the more aggressive look.
I'll post a vid when it's done if there is any interest.

Make sure you get a clip up of the exhaust so we can all hear it

I know what you mean Abear. But they look new again, and they don't even look stock anymore, plus I had the means to do it without spending the dough for some tight a$$ rims and tires. That will come next year after the turbo and paint this year. Baby steps man, baby steps . I'll post a clip of the exhaust when I am done with it, hopefully it won't be too loud (that's why I got an 18" resonator) My 79 mustang ( 3 liter Inline 6) had a 3" exhaust with a flowmaster (dumped) and it shook the ground like a v-8. I don't want that kind of sound coming out of the back of my SPORT/luxury car.
TLW, you can't have him man, as awesome as he is in all his fatness! He was almost 30 lbs when I returned him to nature, I raised him from birth and damn what a handfull! He had the inteligence of a 5 year old human! (smarter than me!! ) But thanks for the offer.
